CumbrianRam Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe not, 167 all out. Poor score, no half centuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Shambles. Perhaps the last 5 or 6 years was all a dream. Somehow it's comforting, like the company of an old friend. Things are normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I picked a bad day to start watching Test cricket! Off later to Wellington for next Thursday's match. Looks like we'll start that One Down [under?]. Ah well, there's always the wine. Hope everyone looks after our football team for me while I'm away. Everyone Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodleyRam Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't think England have won a first test away (Bangladesh aside) since 2004, We always like to give them a head start and then get our acts together for the 2nd... Some of the shots to get out were dire though... Long season ahead, better to start badly than finish badly this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It'll be a draw.........I think B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This wicket is a joke. Why do they play at this venue? Historically it's been a bowlers paradise. 250 would be a good score which in test cricket terms suggests the wicket is substandard. 460-9 dec followed by 234-1. I think it was our arrogance and lack of preparation which was to blame, not this lifeless pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Agreed but the pitch and conditions have still been increasingly batsman friendly since the first day, our lot failed to stick it out. Would have been interesting to see the state of the game if NZ had batted first..... I gave up watching it around 2am, just pointless as zilch in the pitch for the bowlers and Cook and Compton were playing it safe and slowly as you'd expect.

eddie Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think an awful lot of England's first innings 'performance' can be put down to having been put in then having to sit in the dressing room for an entire day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Great centuries by Cook (24th) two in front of Pietersen on the all time list, and Compton (1st) Compton usually goes 'big' when he gets a ton B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think an awful lot of England's first innings 'performance' can be put down to having been put in then having to sit in the dressing room for an entire day. Probably why they got piles in second innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Great knock by Finn for his first test half century........ B) solid performance second innings by England......get your dosh on two regulation wins by England in the remaining two tests..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 In full control in the 2nd test, Broad back to form with 6 - 51. NZ are following on 77-1 after being bowled out for 254 to reply to England's 1st innings total of 465. Few early wickets in the morning and i think we may get a innings win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
